Artist, German, 1858 - 1925

This is a drawing of a rider on horseback alongside two figures. The image is executed with loose, expressive black lines that depict a horse with a figure atop it, while two other figures accompany the horse from the side. The drawing uses a series of quick, dynamic strokes to suggest movement and energy around the figures, giving a sketch-like impression rich in motion and drama. The scene captures a sense of interaction and focuses on conveying an emotional or narrative moment through the dynamic interplay of forms and lines.
